Many of these I knew; some I didn't. Our local Pieris (I think we call it Andromeda here) isn't blooming yet. Apricot isn't hardy. And the Kerria is totally new to me - I think it is considered invasive in some parts of our country, I just read. Enjoyed all of your blooms.
Our Central Canada garden doesn't look like that. In fact, it hasn't reached the garden stage yet this year. If one lived around Vancouver and Victoria BC, they would probably have a lot of blooms by now.
Hi Janice - it's great remembering how further advanced plants can be in the interior ... it's been chilly down here, lots of sun - thankfully. Lovely pics - thanks and cheers Hilary
These are magnificent. I hope you were able to be close to a few of them. If not, Barry did great on the camera. My trees are not that far along, thank goodness. We have been having flooding torrential rain for days on end. And tonight the temp will be at freezing. Monday night it will be -7 C.

ReplyDeleteThe yellow shrubs are so bright and cheerful.
DeleteWe have kerria japonica here and it is blooming too. It is supposed to snow tomorrow. And the day after too. :(
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will survive . . . 🤞
DeleteThey are all so beautiful. The hyacinth would make me sneeze and wheeze, but they are still lovely to look at.
ReplyDeleteThe scent is very strong, almost sickly close to.
DeleteLots of lovely flowers. I'm hoping we'll soon see more things popping up. I can't wait to see some blossoms
ReplyDeleteThey all seem to gather strength together.

ReplyDeleteMy niece lives in Vancouver.
DeleteLovely. I bet the garden is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's busy now.
DeleteSo much going on in your garden. Really lovely
ReplyDeleteIt all seems to happen at once.
DeleteI think Sprng is the best of seasons in the garden. This last week blossom has burst out virtually overnight on so many local trees.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing to see, isn't it?
DeleteI'm absolutely loving the new banner. What a superb photo! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'll tell the photographer . . . 😀
DeleteSo many lovely plants, it's a wonderful time of the garden year.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is.
DeleteOh, your blossom down there is way ahead of ours. How beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou'll enjoy yours all the more when it arrives and ours is finished.

ReplyDeleteWe're fairly sheltered here in Berkshire.
DeleteBeautiful signs of spring. You're way ahead of us.
ReplyDeleteYou have yours still to look forward to.

ReplyDeleteGoodness, that's cold for this time of year.

ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. 😀

ReplyDeleteSpring is such a lovely time of year.
All the best Jan
It's such a hopeful season.
